Plate and Shell Heat Exchangers

Inproheat Industries offers Tranter Supermax® plate and shell heat exchanger. 

The Supermax® heat exchanger from Tranter is an innovative fusion of the standalone shell and tube and plate models. Significantly smaller than the traditional shell and tube heat exchanger, the Supermax® integrates that model’s robust shell design, but combines it with a plate pack. 

Supermax® plate and shell heat exchangers are available in four variations:

• Standard: Featuring a fully-welded circular corrugated plate pack which is inserted into a shell.  
• Removable Core: Provides full accessibility to the thermal element for inspection and/or mechanical cleaning of the shell side channel by removing the plate pack bundle. 
• Two-in-One: Featuring a shell that is shared between two distinct plate packs, allowing for fluid variations where necessary and greater flow rate control.
• Multi-pass: Featuring two plate packs and an integrated flow director, allowing numerous passes between plate and shell sides. 

Plate and shell heat exchangers like the Supermax are best-used in high pressure, high temperature, and high cycling applications.

They are commonly found in industries like refineries, chemical plants, power plants, petro-chemical plants, and steam.
